(lets not talk about the crash)

Got so close to the sub8 last week chaps, an 8:01 that could easily have been if not for a few mis shifts and hold ups. 3rd and 4th gear are a bit of a pain sometimes...

Great lap! If ever I need a reference video to explain what 'in the groove' is, this might be it!

Love the little head shake at Wehrseifen. It looks like you've made it fine but you're clearly holding yourself to a high standard.

Car looks a joy to drive, too.

Great suspension, traffic cost you a little and perhaps carry more speed into Hatzenbach, up Flugplatz.........all in all enjoyable. smile

That looks like a nicely chosen setup man.

Short FDR keeps the engine always on power, suspension seems to be working alright, no rubbing, no jumping and it certainly looks agile!

Good lap and yes this was a sub 8 lap.

Keep at it and it will come smile

Great lap! I've been watching all your videos about the 'Ring recently, as i'm preparing for my first visit at the end of August in my Accord Type R. Yours and Dale's BTG videos have been my favourite sources!

I watched your videos the other day in the airport, great fun and you are clearly very handy behind the wheel!

That car looks utterly awesome to drive, and so much grip!

How are the repairs coming along?

Great set of videos. Just watched 41-49 of your vlogs, genuinely entertaining!

Gutting about the size of the bill, hopefully the 100k+ youtube views help cover the damage.

Have you decided what's next for the car yet?

Very good!

Enjoyed watching some of your other vids too, especially the one with your crash. I don't think I'd have managed to be so calm and pragmatic myself.

ETA: I don't mean I enjoyed seeing you crash, just to be clear.

My brother showed me the vid of you recovering the car. Took me 5 minutes to realise I actually know you.

Can guarantee this was a quick quick car with a quick quick driver. I'm suprised at how well the sudden spin at high speed went, looked relatively smooth apart from the bump to the front. No rear end damage? Apart from the fuel tank obviously.
